The Group
was established in 1959 under the title "Committee
on Sporting & Educational Facilities".
Romuald Wirsyllo from Poland was an active
secretary of the group for many years, whose
work was highly respected. He was succeeded
by another Polish architect, Jacek Kwiecinski.
In 1986 the secretaryship was given to the
current holder, Geraint John of the United
Kingdom.
After 1986, the Group has had its title modified
several times. Its title of Sports & Leisure
Work Group was changed to "Sports, Leisure
& Tourism". However, "Tourism"
was subsequently omitted and the title changed
to its current title "The UIA Sport &
Leisure Programme". The role of Permanent
Secretary was changed to "Director"
and this post continues to be held by Professor
Geraint John. Permanent
